GENERAL Thread sealing tape made of 100% polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE) is a unique sealing product offering low cost combination of the following characteristics: ADHESION
Extremely low surface energy thus providing excellent anti-stick, nonwetting contact surfaces.
ATMOSPHERIC AGEING Transparent to UV light and extremely resistant to oxidation, surface
fouling, discoloration and embrittlement. BIO-DEGRADATION The product is resistant to enzymatic and micro biological attack, and does not contain any additives that could provide a substrate for fungal or bacterial growth. HEAT
Depending on types and applications service temperatures can go up to 260oC
COLD
Remains stable and completely functional down to cryogenic temperatures.
CONTAMINATION
The tape is chemically inert and pure and has no effect on process fluids.
CORROSION
Resists the most aggressive organic and inorganic chemicals and solvents.
HUMIDITY
Extremely hydrophobic and completely resistant to hydrolysis.
FRICTION
The product has the lowest co-efficient of friction of any material in existence.
MECHANICAL STRESS Excellent fatigue resistance in applications involving flexing or vibration. LONG SERVICE
Excellent resistance to ageing at high temperatures and in the presence of oils; solvents; oxidising agents among others. As no leaching or degradable stabilising agents are involved this is a big safety factor when designing for longevity.
